against him is a republican state senator which is in the southern part of virginia. there's also jeff clark, an independent businessman and member of the tea party. this district race is getting a lot of national attention because republicans see him as one of the most vulnerable democrats and the congress given he represents a somewhat conservative district and that he voted in favor of his major initiative, health care, cap and trade, stimulus, and someone. he was elected by the smallest margin of any congressional race in the country. republicans see this as a pickup. democrats, however, say that he is a fighter and a tough campaigner. because he supported the same initiatives that he is getting the support of national democrats just as national republicans are trying to take him down. in 2008, he challenged a six- term conservative republican and beat him by 727 votes. this was the closest margin of any race that year in congress. some people think he just rode in on the obama wave. the virginia fifth district is fairly conservative. mccain won with 56% of the vo
